The Pull Request related nditer has been dormant for a while, and there seems to be no consensus on moving forward at this point. Charles, are you opposed to requiring the .close() call on nditer and/or adding context managers? If so, then we might as well let mattip know that the Pull Request is not moving forward.
If you aren’t opposed, perhaps we should clarify what the expectations for the Pull Request are and a path to having it merged.
